The Media Computing Group -- otherwise known as the dudes and dudettes
responsible for making multitouch hip again -- is back, and some might
say better than ever. The BendDesk is an outlandish new concept
workspace for the future, relying heavily on a curved multitouch
display to bring the wow. The desk is the Group's vision of merging
multitouch with a common physical area, and it's probably the best
implementation we've seen yet. A full ten touch points are supported,
but the lower portion is also designed to be used as a standard desk,
holding your laptop, paperwork and ink pen collection if you so
choose. Shockingly enough, the whole thing looks exceptionally
ergonomic, too. Head on past the break for a glimpse of it being used,
but don't hold your breath waiting for a ship date and price --
something tells us it'll be awhile before either of those are published.
